Today was an easy 12 miles. I Packed and was on the trail by 7:00 a.m. Walked by a hiker sleeping along the trail: no tent; just a pad and sleeping bag. His head was ,and I could not figure out how he was not being eaten alive by bugs. He caught me later and said the bugs hovered but never landed on his face. Incredible! Also met a guy from Indiana who was wearing a kilt on the trail. They work well to prevent chafing. Went swimming twice today in streams and ponds along the route. Again, some beautiful scenery. Staying at a shelter tonight: pitched my tent on a platform for that purpose. Another good day. Take care.
